Here is some advices for those students who want to pursue their higher education at Universiti Sains Malaysia.
1. Official website http://www.ips.usm.my
2. For research basis, you can apply at any time throughout the year while for coursework, the dateline so far usually on March 31 for the September intake.
3. Coursework of Research would be easy for you?
- well..some people say that coursework would be easier due to has a valid guideline, that is your text book, but as you can see, even though it's just the same topic being thought, the Masters enforces more on application of those theories. In USM, based on my experiences, it's not that easy for you to get an A for any subject. Work hard and smart would lead to success in your studies.
- hey! how about research ah? people keep on saying it's a tougher one compared to by coursework. Yes, certainly, course your marks is only depending on your findings, results, and the most important is your VIVA. But not to worry, as you put in effort to make sure that you follow the guidelines given, your research has significant contribution, keeps update every month, I think there shall no problem to pass the VIVA. It's NOT as tough as coursework! You know why? It's due to, you just to put in effort for a topic, and not needed to crack out again the whole chapters in the textbook..
